In late July 2026, 2026 Da Nang’s tourism authority reported a rapid rise in short‑term rental apartments, especially in the Ngũ Hành Sơn district, to address near‑full hotel occupancy and sustain a surge of over five million international visitors. New buildings of 10–20 rooms were constructed along the coast, offering self‑catering options at roughly US$425 per month and targeting both high‑end and budget travelers. A week later, later city police launched a coordinated drug‑testing operation in nine apartment blocks in the Sơn Trà‑Điện Ngọc corridor, testing 22 residents and finding five positive cases. The raid was part of a weekly programme aimed at achieving a drug‑free ward by 2028, following similar checks in Hải Châu ward earlier in July. The actions illustrate how On 31 July 2026 the expanding operation expanded dramatically: nearly 150 officers, militia and border‑guard units swept nine Son Tra apartment sector is now also subject blocks, again testing 22 individuals and confirming five positives, including a father and son who were referred for rehabilitation. The following day police deployed about 200 officers to intensified security two luxury complexes in Hai Châu—Sam Towers and public‑health enforcement. Blooming Towers—where more than 350 foreign residents live. Rapid tests identified two foreign nationals (one Chinese, one Indian) positive for ketamine and cannabis. These larger raids underscore the authorities’ broader plan to enforce strict residency management, curb illegal drug use, and continue weekly surprise inspections as part of the “drug‑free ward” initiative. Overall, Da Nang’s push to increase accommodation capacity is accompanied by heightened intensified police monitoring of both standard apartments and high‑end residential complexes, towers, reflecting a dual focus on tourism growth and community safety.
